Of all cases of asthma, 1 - 5 percent appear to be caused by an interaction of stress factors, such as environmental pressures or anxiety.
<h3>Effect of stress on asthma</h3>
Studies have indicated that the body's response to stress triggers the immune system and causes the release of certain hormones. This can lead to inflammation within the airways of the lungs, triggering an asthma attack.
Strong emotions and stress are well known triggers of asthma. There is evidence of a link between asthma, anxiety and depression, though the outcomes are sometimes not consistent. Anxiety and depression may be associated with poor asthma control.
